[Phone]

Okay, I can't remember all your addresses, but who of us from Gensokyo have enough back to put up a good danmaku fight? With Mokou gone, I need to find an alternative.



[A: Action - Grocery Store]

[Marisa is pushing a cart around the grocery store filling it up with random food stuffs. There's literally no rhyme or pattern to what she's picking out, making it nearly impossible to figure out what she's planning to cook. Or for how many people.]



[B: Action - Church]

[Marisa is sitting in the second pew from the front with her boots resting on the back of the one in front of her. Looking bored, she tosses a star bullet repeatedly up into the air and catches just as one would a ball. Eventually, she'd be approached...]

Comments

[ex_seventh238]

Keine? Kamishirasawa-san, you mean? [She gives a small nod. Mokou's friend, right...] Goodness, that's quite a while. How were things, before the barrier was put in place? In terms of contact with the outside world, to be more specific?

[badladyscramble]

Fine. Intruding.

[Angry wing flap. SEMANTICS. It's unlawful entrance!]

[drank_the_milk]

Yeah, I guess he's pretty handy for that.

[adropofjupiter]

Though I'd have to wake him up first and that's never easy...

[adropofjupiter]

That I'll accept.

[adropofjupiter]

I dunno, ze. I wasn't alive. Everything I know is in relation to the Border being up. I know that when humans of the Outside World get 'spirited away' it's because they either wandered into Gensokyo somehow or they were yoinked here by a youkai or another resident.

[adropofjupiter]

Not this much every day, ze. This'll be, like, enough for a week.

[ex_seventh238]

[nodding, the spiriting away makes sense.] There are no records, or any that you've come across? Gensokyo does seem to possess a rather extensive history.

[adropofjupiter]

That's all Keine, ze. That's her purpose in Gensokyo. She creates the history every full moon. The unbiased history. Akyuu is pretty damn biased in her chronicles.

[drank_the_milk]

Well, it's good that he's a last resort, then.

[ex_seventh238]

That's an interesting way of doing things. I'll keep it in mind to ask her about it in the future.

[At which point the kettle goes off! Blinking, Ciel straightens herself before going over to attend to that. ...Taking out a genuine Japanese tea set too, it's what she's received in the mail before um... the worst misunderstanding of ever went down.

ANYWAY cover or not she WAS the president of the tea ceremony club, so she knows her ways decently around green tea and such. Give her a minute before coming over with a tray and two mugs - the cup-like ones with no handle.]

Mm, here. Be careful, it's hot. [Duh, but she'll sit down from across Marisa, even if the witch ignores the chair.]

[grumpiest_tree]

Oh... Well that is a little less of a tax on the food supplies.

But this is a weekly thing then? Are you just randomly grabbing items in mass quantities, or you have a list you follow?

I'm mostly asking this as it might save you time and effort if we make plans to have this stuff just ready for pickup, or even delivered to your house. It would certainly would be less of a strain on me having to keep these shelves stocked during the times you come in for your pet's meals.

[badladyscramble]

So whose houses have you been intruding in instead? Besides, I assume, Patchouli's.

[adropofjupiter]

Why do you want to know?

[adropofjupiter]

He eats anything that's not spicy, ze. So, pretty much random stuff.

[adropofjupiter]

Uh, avoid talking to her when there's a full moon out. She's got her other form back. Kinda... not nice when all beasty.

[Marisa watches and approves of the tea. She adds what she needs to the tea and then sips it. Yes, it's hot, but she doesn't care.]

This is good. So... why'd you stay away from home for two weeks? I total understand a few days, but not weeks, ze.

[ex_seventh238]

[She nods.] Mm, I remember, that happened here once. I've spoken to her too, but before she was droned and came back. ...My. Thinking back now, it's starting to be hard to keep track. Mokou-san's left recently too, hasn't she? [fellow immortal, etc... u_u but well, Ciel's not going to show any outward reaction regardless, obvious enough.]

--?Mm, that's good to hear. It is from home, so we can't compare it to anything sold here. [small... head tilt.] Hm? I had things to take care of here, is all. Did anything happen, back at the house? [she totally has



no idea

what you're talking about, Marisa... .-.]

[adropofjupiter]

Ciel. It's been two weeks and you've only been at the house long enough to not get droned. You've been avoiding me and there hasn't been any kind of crisis or anything that would have you here for two weeks straight without telling me and Mion that you were going to be gone so long.

Even Seven says you were acting weird. So. Stop acting dumb. We need to talk about this and I ain't gonna let it go.

[ex_seventh238]

But you've been holding up okay, right? Sonozaki-san's rarely home too, so me taking leave for a while shouldn't be anything really unusual. [no she will continue to obfuscate stupidity for as long as humanly possible, also small teasip... mmm.] Besides, I'm more or less done, so I'll be home tonight to make dinner. What more is there to talk about?

[adropofjupiter]

The difference is I'm used to Mion being gone. Not you. You can't just go getting me used to you being around all the time and then just disappear on me!

[Okay, so there's more to this than Marisa was willing to admit. She has some heavily repressed abandonment issues. And then there was the whole Stabdad thing...]

What would I have done if he came back, ze?

[Wait. Getting off track here.]

But that's not the point. We need to talk about Tsuchinoko and that fight we had.

marisa she temp moved to the church, she was still around even if she wasn't there like how she used to be. it's. not that bad... AT LEAST IT SHOULDN'T BE

AND YES SHE'S STARTING TO SEE THIS NOW... o_o;;]

Then I would've come back earlier, naturally--! I might've been away, but I'm still aware of how things are going.

[ex_seventh238]

[...]

Ah, there's really no need. It was a misunderstanding, right? We got that settled, so it's okay now. [she's going to look away saying that though. nothing to discuss here can we move along now]

[adropofjupiter]

[Sorry, Ciel. Even with all her magic, Spades still scares the crap out of Marisa. Because there are times when Mayfield takes the magic away again.]

...I still owe you an apology. And I don't do this apologizing thing often, ze. I've never seriously wanted to hurt you before then. Misunderstanding or not, I went for your soul. Not exactly an excusable attack, ze.

[That whole thing kind of defied what Marisa was commonly known to be capable of.]

[ex_seventh238]

...

[Giving a small sigh, she'll put the cup back onto the table. Not used to apologizing, no kidding, which is part of what makes this entire chat so surreal to begin with. But.. Mayfield, right?]

You reacted instinctively because you were genuinely scared. The results couldn't be helped, though the means was unexpected. Your attack was impressive, I'm not sure if I could've prepared adequately even if I knew. [just gonna answer calmly. no need to make a big deal out of a direct attack on the soul, right...]

[adropofjupiter]

[Abandon Marisa for two weeks again and she might apologize again, possibly for something she didn't even do.]

...not unless you can alter reality. [Since Marisa magically hacks it when she uses system cards.] Normally, I'd be all for the praise and all... but I kinda just want to be yelled at then forgiven. This [vague gesture at Ciel with her free hand] weird apathy toward it is kinda weirding me out.

I know Arcueid said hurting you is really hard and you don't generally care about it, but... you're still human. [right?]
